10 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

9

9. The communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the communication apparatus to, in a case where the first base station has not constructed a network intended for a link to be newly established between the first base station and the second base station, transmit a message for causing the first base station to construct the network.

10

10. The communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a link between the first base station and the second base station is established by performing a communication parameter sharing process compliant with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup standard.

11

11. The communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a link between the first base station and the second base station is established by performing a communication parameter sharing process compliant with a Device Provisioning Protocol standard.

12

12. The communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the communication apparatus plays a role of a controller according to a Wi-Fi EasyMesh standard, and the first base station and the second base station play a role of an agent according to the Wi-Fi EasyMesh standard.

13

13. The communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first base station and the second base station establish a backhaul link compliant with the Wi-Fi EasyMesh standard as a link to be used for communication.

14

14. The communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the communication apparatus transmits the message for establishing a plurality of links between the first base station and the second base station to the first base station by wireless communication via a first wireless network constructed by the communication apparatus, the first base station joining the first wireless network.

15

15. The communication apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the message for establishing a plurality of links between the first base station and the second base station that is transmitted by the communication apparatus is transmitted from the first base station to the second base station by wireless communication via a second wireless network constructed by the first base station, the second base station joining the second wireless network.

16

16. The communication apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the message for establishing a plurality of links between the first base station and the second base station that is transmitted by the communication apparatus is transmitted from the first base station to the second base station by wired communication, the second base station being connected to the first base station via a wired network.

17

17. The communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the communication apparatus transmits the message for establishing a plurality of links between the first base station and the second base station to the first base station by wired communication, the first base station being connected to the communication apparatus via a wired network.

18

18. The communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the communication apparatus transmits a backhaul establishment start message for starting establishment of a plurality of links to be used for communication as the message for establishing a plurality of links between the first base station and the second base station.
